Concrete

(ETA Cuisenaire, n.d.) ||< //Groupable models are used to introduce tens, which can be made or grouped from singles. The connecting cubes are a great visual resource, which allow for the child to visualise that ten single units is the same as one ten. Groupable models are used during the Student's Language stage, whilst the tens concept is being developed. This resource allows the child to visualise the single cubes and physically join them together to form one single ten.// || (Round Table Teaching Tools, n.d.) || // Multi-base arithmetic Blocks (MAB's) are an example of a pre-grouped trading model. When ten single pieces are accumulated, they can be traded for one ten. MAB's are a resource that can help students visualise large numbers. MAB blocks allow children to model a specific number. This resource is used during the Materials and Mathematics Language Stage, once students have been introduced to the tens concept. MAB blocks can be used in conjunction with a place value mat to demonstrate tens and ones to reinforce the tens concept. // ||   Digital

(IXL, n.d.,b) [] ||  ||  //The IXL website is a great interactive resource, enabling teachers to source fun, interactive games specific to certain key concepts. The website is broken into year levels to ensure suitability of games within each year juncture. There are hundreds of games within each year level, with games pertinent to specific year levels.// //I have chosen the interactive game of Place Value Models Tens and Ones, which can be used to reinforce and practice the skills and strategies in relation to tens. This interactive game complements the lesson plan and would be appropriate to use once the initial concept of tens has been developed. The game involves students matching MAB's to a specified number and allows the student to visualise the tens and ones units, enabling them to choose the corresponding numeral. Additional assistance and clarification is a positive aspect of this educational tool and is provided when an incorrect answer is submitted. This is a great reflection tool for young children to provide further assistance and clarification.// ||
